The Belwin Student Instrumental Course is a course for individual instruction and class instruction of like instruments; at three levels; for all band instruments. Each book is complete in itself; but all books are correlated with each other. Although each book can be used separately; all supplementary books should be used as companion books with the method.

But this year the emotional understanding of the situation came closer to home as the cost of home heating has roughly doubled. All of a sudden; sustainable energy; particularly solar power looks a lot more attractive than it did even last year.In spite of its title; this book is primarily on solar power. To be sure about half the book is on other technologies such as wind; tidal; and so on. But from an architectural standpoint; the technology is more advanced and more easily adapted when it is solar.This book is not a detailed tutorial on how to install a solar power system; instead it is more of an overall survey of the concepts of how solar power can be utilized in the home and in some commercial/industrial buildings.Near my house is a new development being built. There is absolutely no attention being made for solar power. So it hasnt quite yet reached the house buying public; but that time is coming. The concepts in this book are reaching mandatory level; maybe next year when the price of heating doubles again.If there is one point lacking in this book; that is passive home heating. This is cheaper to install; has a very good payback; and can be combined with solar electric in the same building.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Dr Peter Gevorkians book on Sustainable Energy Systems in Architectural DesignBy Mary O. KanianThank you for the clearest; most concise; easily understood treatment of a technology whose time has definitely come. Starting with a history background of solar technology in its previous incarnations; we are quickly brought up to date with workable solutions to many of our current energy challenges. From homes to concert halls public facilities; the "how-to" of putting these technologies to work is fully explained in crisp paragraphs bullet items; punctuated by colorful graphs; schematics; photos charts which clearly illustrate the concepts explained. Examples of successful projects are provided strategies presented to transition into use of solar power other forms of renewable energy. When you finish reading this book; Im sure you will feel as I did that you have a genuine understanding of what technologies are available how they can work0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Best Sustainable Energy Systems BookBy William NonaI have recently read "Sustainable Energy Systems in Architectural Design"; by Dr. Peter Gevorkian.This is the most comprehensive dissertation that I have read for Energy Systems. Dr Gevorkian has effectively taken the reader from the basics through the technical and economical considerations while delineating numerous alternatives in a manner that is easy to read and understand.I believe that the substance of this book should be a prerequisite to the completion of every college architectural degree; and that every architectural licensing exam in the country should include a segment on energy systems. Similar requirements should be established for consultants that provide engineering for power consumption.William Nona; Architect; NCARB
